Jammu and Kashmir (India) and Xinjiang (China)

Abstract

Chapters 1 to 5 have discussed poverty and inequality of minorities largely at an aggregate level, concentrating mainly on socio-economic issues. Chapters 6 to 8 extend this discussion to such socio-political issues as social discontent, religious and ethnic identity, political representation and human rights. This chapter attempts an analysis of these subjects in respect of minorities at the state/provincial and district levels.
